Ohio Supreme Court disbars Pepper Pike attorney

The Supreme Court of Ohio disbarred a Pepper Pike attorney on Thursday.

Dwight E. Davis saw his law license permanently revoked for multiple violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, the court opinion stated.

In a unanimous decision, the court decided on the punishment based on findings from the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline.

According to the opinion, Davis's license was suspended in March 2009 for other violations. While under suspension, he then opened a client trust account and deposited $11,190.46, which he soon overdrew.
